On the contrary, it won't take long. Just remember to enjoy yourself and learn to trust your GPSr as long as you have the correct coordinates installed you should have no troubles. One other thing also is to not jump in and try to hide a cache right off. Take the time to get a few caches under your belt and learn from what others have done with their hides. Not every cache will be the same. There are many to choose from. Start with the 1/1's and work your way up to the more difficult ones til you feel comfortable handling the GPS and knowing how to use it correctly. I like the whole array of caches now that I have been caching for a few years . At first I had some reservations about doing micro's but there are some very innovative ones out there and enjoy them as well. There is nothing like a good hike with a view which brings me to a place I have never been to before. I think I maybe found close to 100 caches before I felt comfortable in hiding my first cache. Each person has his or her own feelings about hiding them and that will depend on each individual. The main thing is to have fun and introduce others to the sport as well, you won't be disappointed. Attend the gatherings that take place throughout the year and before long you will have a number of new friends. Happy Caching

Just smile it won't crack your face

The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four persons is
suffering from some sort of mental illness. Think of your three best
friends -- if they're okay, then it's you.

If I may

One word of advice that was given to me when we first started. Don't do ALL the caches that are closest to your home. Quickly the travel will become too far to do some quick caching. I have made it a point not to do all the caches in one area. That way I can revisit a special place, to do the remaining caches. Welcome to a very addictive sport, and good luck.

Why not live life like it is your last day....instead of pretending to be a member of the Peter Pan Club and believing you will be around forever.
